Storm-Trained Grit-Made

Intro — chant / stomp rhythm / no spoken intro] Storm-trained grit-made Ten toes down when the ground shake Storm-trained grit-made I don’t bend where I used to break [Beat drops] [Verse 1] I woke up with iron in my posture like the old fear lost my address Same weight tried to lean on me but it don’t speak with the same access I got thunder tucked under my work shirt got voltage sitting in my veins I don’t call it pain no more I call it proof that I can change I been forged where the heat don’t ask permission where the night lays heavy on the lungs Had to wrestle with the man I was till the man I am finally swung Now I move with a different kind of measure not loud, just loaded with aim I ain’t bragging on a comeback I’m just done shrinking my name [Pre-Chorus] I came through smoke with my spine still speaking Came through weight with my pulse still beating I don’t need a throne I don’t need revenge I just step in that road storm-trained again [Chorus] I’m storm-trained now got steel in my stride I don’t fold for the dark I let the low end ride I’m storm-trained now got grit in my frame What tried to bury me only welded my name Boots hit earth soul won’t bow Same old war but I’m built different now I’m storm-trained now locked in, locked in Not untouched by the fire just not scared of it [Post-Chorus — chant / heavy bounce] Locked in grit-made I don’t bend where I used to break Locked in storm-trained I found my roar where I lost my way [Verse 2] This ain’t cheap motivation this is backbone renovation This is overtime faith with a blue-collar foundation This is clocking in tired with your spirit still swinging This is rust on the hands but the soul still singing This is diesel smoke prayer with a trap drum sermon Not church in the front just the beat doing work, man Choir in the distance 808s in the ribs I don’t need soft peace I need something that lives I got gravel in the gears but the engine still turning Got a past full of ashes but the furnace still burning I don’t run from the hard road I learned traction from rain Ain’t no shame in the struggle when the struggle taught aim [Pre-Chorus] I came through smoke with my spine still speaking Came through weight with my pulse still beating I don’t need a throne I don’t need revenge I just step in that road storm-trained again [Chorus] I’m storm-trained now got steel in my stride I don’t fold for the dark I let the low end ride I’m storm-trained now got grit in my frame What tried to bury me only welded my name Boots hit earth soul won’t bow Same old war but I’m built different now I’m storm-trained now locked in, locked in Not untouched by the fire just not scared of it [Bridge — chant / anthem build] Anvil in my heartbeat freight in my walk Truth in my knuckles less waste in my talk Mud on the denim sun in the marrow I took the long road and made it an arrow I don’t need easy I don’t need clean I need one more breath and a reason to mean it I don’t need perfect I don’t need praise I got storm in my training and steel in my days [Breakdown — beat cuts low / crowd chant energy] Storm-trained grit-made Ten toes down when the ground shake Storm-trained grit-made I don’t bend where I used to break [Final Chorus — big / heavy 808s / layered chant] I’m storm-trained now got steel in my stride I don’t fold for the dark I let the low end ride I’m storm-trained now got grit in my frame What tried to bury me only welded my name Boots hit earth soul won’t bow Same old war but I’m built different now I’m storm-trained now locked in, locked in Not untouched by the fire just not scared of it [Outro — chant fades / beat rides] Storm-trained grit-made I don’t bend where I used to break Storm-trained grit-made I found my roar where I lost my way
